.SH "DESCRIPTION"
The SELinux policy can include conditional rules that are enabled or
disabled based on the current values of a set of policy booleans.
These policy booleans allow runtime modification of the security
policy without having to load a new policy.  

The SELinux API allows for a transaction based update. So you can
set several boolean values and then commit them all at once.

.BR security_get_boolean_names ()
provides a list of boolean names, currently supported by the loaded policy.

.BR security_get_boolean_pending ()
returns the pending value for boolean or \-1 on failure.

.BR security_get_boolean_active ()
returns the active value for boolean or \-1 on failure.

.BR security_set_boolean ()
sets the pending value for boolean 

.BR security_set_boolean_list ()
saves a list of booleans in a single transaction. Note that the
.BI int " permanent "
flag is deprecated and should be set to zero.

.BR security_commit_booleans ()
commits all pending values for the booleans.
.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
Where not otherwise stated, functions described in this manual page return
zero on success or \-1 on error.
